Operation Georgette
Operation Georgette was a military offensive launched by the German Empire during World War I in April 1918. Its primary goal was to capture the strategic city of Ypres in Belgium, which was crucial for controlling supply routes and the Western Front. The operation aimed to break through the Allied lines and gain a decisive advantage.
The offensive began on April 9, 1918, and involved intense fighting between German forces and the British Army. Despite initial successes, the operation ultimately stalled due to strong Allied resistance and logistical challenges. By the end of April, the offensive was effectively halted, marking a turning point in the war.
